This huge book with all of Douglas Adam's stories was amazing- it was an absolute mind-job! The whole reason I read it was because I saw the movie, "The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy", and there were so many jokes I missed (so says my now husband) that I had to read it to truly appreciate the movie.
So, I read the book, and all I can say is "WOW"...it is an absolute mind-job; an adventure that could not possibly happen; must be from some mad-man's ramblings; OMG it's the funniest piece of literature and series of stories and random events that I've ever read! I'm still trying to figure out how someone could possibly imagine half of the content of these stories- but I loved every minute of it!
You zarkin' frood! You've had that same old towel since you were 623 years old!
i dont understand why this book appealed to techers, to the extent that they even allowed it to be used as the theme of the little t at some point. i can sense that the author is trying to be funny, but i just dont get the jokes.
maybe i'll finish it someday when i have more patience to offer
I know where my towel is, babelfish is at the ready, and I threw out my book of Vogan poetry!!! This book is a must for anyone who like sci-fi and general sillyness!
it's been a long time since i have read this one. I don't remember even finishing it. But i did see the new-ish movie (with Mos Def) and i quite liked that! I think i may try the book again.
Interesting ideas, sometimes hilarious, but often too silly for my tastes.
It is a bit odd but funny and original.
This book was completely different that I thought it would be, but not in a bad way. I love the sort of British humor that involves completely outlandish characters and plots and this book does a pretty good job of it. I highly recommend the audio version as well.

This book was completely different that I thought it would be, but not in a bad way. I love the sort of British humor that involves completely outlandish characters and plots and this book does a pretty good job of it. I highly recommend the audio version as well. Any book read in a British accent is better.
I have read that people either love this book or hate it. I can see why. The humor is not for everyone. I personally loved it. I laughed out loud so many times. As for the narrator, Stephen Fry was outstanding. I don't think I could hear anyone else but him read this book.
Absolutely hilarious sci-fi epic, one of my favorite books of all time. 42.
